XP, durability, and crest currencies - right on your character frame, no extra windows needed.

Description

Charbar

Your character frame was looking a little naked. We fixed that.


What is it?

Charbar bolts three useful panels onto your character frame — an XP/Reputation bar, a Durability bar, and a Crest currency tracker — without making you open five different windows just to check if your boots are about to fall apart.


Features

  • XP / Reputation Bar — sits just above the character frame. Tracks experience or reputation depending on your mood. Right-click to toggle between the two instantly.

  • Three-segment XP bar — your current XP fills in your chosen colour, then a blue rested XP preview shows exactly how far your rested pool would take you, and a gold quest XP preview shows how much the quests currently in your log would add on top. At a glance you can see where you'll land before you've handed in a single thing.

  • Durability Bar — shows your overall gear durability as a percentage. Turns amber when things are getting sad, red when you should probably visit a repair vendor before you embarrass yourself.

  • Crest Tracker — a compact panel showing your Myth, Hero, Champion, Veteran, and Adventurer crest counts. Hover any crest for the full in-game tooltip. Hides automatically when you open the Reputation tab because it's polite like that.

  • ElvUI integration — if ElvUI is detected, Charbar borrows its colours so everything looks like it belongs. No ElvUI? Built-in fallback colours have you covered.

  • LibSharedMedia-3.0 support — use any font registered with LSM for the bar labels.
